I have converted some code that works like a countdown timer and is perfect for my needs apart from one small aspect - it counts down in seconds only, not minutes and seconds. The format I am looking for is X:yy where x is minutes and y is seconds, eg 180 seconds = 3:00. Is there a simple format I can add to a cell that will do the trick? EDIT:I think the Dim at the top of this code is causing the problems as I don't really want to show the date - just minutes and seconds counting down. A sample workbook is included - code is in Thisworkbook, Sheet1 and module1.
Dim CountDown As Date
Sub Timer()
CountDown = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
Application.OnTime CountDown, "Reset"
End Sub
Sub Reset()
Dim count As Range
Set count = [A1] ' A1 contains the number of seconds for the countdown.
count.Value = count.Value - 1
If count <= 0 Then
MsgBox "Countdown complete."
Exit Sub
End If
Call Timer
End Sub
Sub DisableTimer()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=CountDown, Procedure:="Reset", Schedule:=False
End Sub
I am trying to insert a timer into a column cell range that will countdown in hours, mins, and sec, when I enter the time. example: when I enter the "time in hr,mins,sec" it will start to countdown to Zero automatically, when I hit the enter key.
Below is my code to display a seconds count down timer in a textbox.
What I want to be able to do is have another textbox where I can enter the number of seconds that the timer will count down.
I don't know how to take a value from the textbox and make it like #12:00:15 AM#
How would I do this?
Sub warmTimer() Dim InitialTime As Single Dim FinalTime As Single InitialTime = Time FinalTime = InitialTime + #12:00:15 AM# Do txtTimer.Text = Format((FinalTime - Time), "s") Loop Until (Time >= FinalTime) Or (Skip = 1) txtTimer.Text = "Time complete" End Sub
I want the macro to run 20 seconds after data has been input to the worksheet. See below codes
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) ActiveSheet.Unprotect For Each cell In Range(Target.Address) If cell.Value "" Then cell.Locked = True
am planning to create a "constant time monitor" in the cell to help monitor expiry dates of chemicals in cell.....the expiry date is predetermined and i can pull them using lookup or something (any better options?).....
I need help in creating the constant time monitors and keep them running and also changing colours as time winds down to give a visual signal to the cell that the chemical is expiring.....am attaching the sample sheet here...
I'd like to create a countdown timer to the nearest second for a project deadline. At present I have a simple formula stating the number of days, but would like it a lot more detailed.
I need to improve this project i've created. right now this project is an Exam for our agents. You can try it first if you want. I've attached the file below.
I need putting a timer that will compute the seconds or minutes it took the agent to finish the exam. timer should start after they click "Take the ETP" button. And finally, creating a screen / a pop-up that will show the ff example.
[I]EXAMPLE:[/I] Name of Examinee Answer: 1. A = Correct 2. B = Incorrect 3. A = Correct 4. C = Correct 5. D = Incorrect
In cell A1 we have the word "one", and in B1 we have the word "two". Would it be possible to have a timer function run for 5 seconds, counting from 5 to 0, and everytime the timer reaches 0, the word in A1 is copied and pasted into cell C1, the timer resets and counts again to zero, this time when it gets to zero, it copies and pastes the word in cell B1 to C1. So it's like a flip flop function, with cell C1 changing it's value every 5 seconds. Also, this code needs to start running automatically when the sheet is opened. Is this at all possible with VBA?..
I want to close a spreadsheet on a timed event. i can manage the timed close but i need to reset the timer if any action occurs. I have attached what i have so far...
I have a file that I update daily. It involves opening the file, going to a drop down menu and selecting 1 of the listed items and pressing a button to run the macro. Once the macro is complete, I then go back to the dropdown menu and select the next line item and press the same button to run the macro on this. I repeat this task 7times.
All the macro does is load a txt file to a third party system.
I am looking to see if it is possible to reduce the time it takes to do this task.
I've got a workbook which runs several macros and take approx 10 mins to run. I was wonder if its possible to put a timer in the status bar which shows how long the macros have been running.
how to modify, other than one piece) for a simple countdown timer to place on a userform. On my form if a user clicks a check box I display a label that shows a count down from 300 to 0 (best/simplest code I could find to modify for my purposes). But I'd rather it look like a timer counting down from "00:05:00" to "00:00:00".
Code: Private Sub PPackCall14_Click() 'lbCountDown, lbMinutes If PPackCall14 = True Then Dim i As Integer Select Case lbMinutes.Value Case ""
I have already made a stopwatch function where I can click start and click stop and get the time difference accurate to one-one thusandth of a second, but I need a single cell ( let's say E1 ) to display the continuously changing elapsed time from when I click on my Start button.
I have three charts on different worksheets - what I want to do is to use a macro to display each chart for 30 seconds and switch to another worksheet and display the chart on that worksheet.
something like below:
ActiveSheet="Sheet1" ActiveSheet="Sheet2" ActiveSheet="Sheet3" Application.OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 30), "Procedure_name"
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim x As String, i As Byte Randomize x = Format$(Int(Rnd * 1899) + 1, "0000") For i = 1 To Len(x) Me.Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = Mid$(x, i, 1) Next End Sub
I need to list multiple items that end in, example:at time entered there is 45:14:50 = Hr:Mn:Sec to completion, and would like the date and time of completion or just a countdown to 0 would work. I will have 60 to 70 items running at the same time with different start times and lengths. Picture queueing up items at different times to complete in different length of time and I need to be ready when each item is done. I know this is an Excel forum but I also use Apple Numbers so if either one works better I'm fine with that.
In the attached file, column R is the start time that I enter that needs to be calculated to column S. When I enter an item that takes 54hrs 23min 45seconds to complete, what date and time will it be ready.
The idea is that when they enter the date they recieved their PDR it auto posts the date it needs re doing in column C. To emphasise it and make it easier i am trying to use the formula is part of conditional formatting so that the spreadsheet goes green when date entered, orange when there is 30 days till renewal and red when its over due. I've been trying formulas such as =c2-today()<30 in the conditional formatting box but i cant seem to get it to work.
I have a macro that runs when a spreadsheet is opened however i sometimes need it not to run. Rather then furiously hit escape i was hoping to get a dialog box that would prompt yes/no to run the macro and if an option was not chosen after a few second then to run the macro anyway (so basically only by clicking "no" would you stop the macro from running).
I found this code here that gives me the yes/no message box and the 5 second time-out to get rid of the message box, however if the message times out it doesn't run the macro. what i need to tweak to make it do so if no input comes from the user? [URL]
I am running a spreadsheet to keep track of workshop technician times. The code I am using I have copied and modified from this forum works really well but I need the timer to go in minus time instead of stopping at 00:00:00. It work be really great if the timer cell changed colour it identify that the Technician had run over the allotted time.
When reading a water meter in a large apartment building a meter reader can also click a timer (LAP) button as the meter passes preset intervals. The worksheet would record the "lap times" in separate cells which could then be compared and usage figures can be calculated, allowing the meter reader to know if there is currently a Leak or other problem before leaving the premesis.
In the attached worksheet you can see what I would like the meter reader enters the reading - the light green "Interval List" is created from that reading. The Meter reader then watches the meter clicking the LAP button each time the interval is passed, the current time is then stored to the Pink cells (Similar to the NOW() function), the times are then calculated in other cells like I did in the Blue column in this case showing elapsed time.
I have tried several ways to do this using NOW, but each time all the cells are updated to NOW not just the current cell - and the Single Button woulod be really nice so the meter reader didn't have to look away from the meter.
In it I've developed some lap timers for tracking runners. However to be truly useful, each time I press a LAP button on any one row it really needs to record time with millisecond accuracy, which it currently does not.
I am trying to write a simple macro that would start a timer (in hh:mm:ss format) when the cell is selected. In other words, if I have the following:
Row Col B Col C 1 00:00:00 (form btn) 2 00:00:00 (form btn) 3 00:00:00 (form btn)
I would like to select B1 to start a timer and C1 (button) to stop the timer for that row.
I was given code from another IT guy but the problem with this code is that I have to write multiple macros by just switching out the cell number (in this example = [C4] )
I would like to have the macro use the selected cell as input parameter in the line that reads Set count = [C4].
Dim CD As Date Sub RunTime() CD = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01") Application.OnTime CD, "Counter" End Sub
